LinkPoint
Secure Payment Gateway Solutions
Cardservice
International's SSL API offers e-commerce website builders and providers an encrypted
connection to our Secure Payment Engine. All Cardservice International merchants
receive the following benefits by using the LinkPoint Secure Payment Gateway technology:
fraud screen of each transaction submitted and real-time reporting via their Web
browser. For
the merchant who wants to get online fast with a limited start-up budget, Cardservice
International is the best choice. If a merchant already has his or her own
website and wants a secure, fast and reliable e-commerce software package, we
also have the answer. Four
unique and user-friendly payment solutions are available to serve the e-commerce
needs of any merchant:
Virtual
LinkPoint allows merchants to manually enter credit card transactions
on a PC through a secure connection to the Internet. Virtual LinkPoint is
the Internet equivalent of a point-of-sale (POS) terminal or PC-based transaction
software without the hardware/software and maintenance expenses. Sales,
returns, authorizations and real-time reports are all provided by Virtual LinkPoint. LinkPoint
HTML is a simple, yet sophisticated product and requires a little
hands-on work by the merchant to use. It wraps around the merchant's existing
website, allowing shoppers to select and order products and securely pay for them
with a credit card. All the same services provided by the Virtual LinkPoint
are available with the LinkPoint HTML. LinkPoint
API is the most sophisticated level of service, enabling software
companies, commerce service providers (CSPs), internet service providers (ISPs)
or cyber-wise merchants to add secure sockets layer (SSL) payment capabilities
to their products, services or custom storefronts. Additional features,
such as tax and shipping calculations and electronic softgood download (ESD) -
i.e., software, pictures or text - are included. Shopping
Catalog Software is available,
free, with each W3U web hosting account. Perlshop
is multi-featured and easy to use. Encryption
Using Cardservice International's SSL API,
all orders and payment information sent from the merchant's Web server will be
encrypted using industry standard RC4 1024-bit encryption with SSL Version 3.
This encrypted and secure data is routed to Cardservice International, decrypted
and processed. All processed information (Approved/Declined transactions) is then
re-encrypted and sent securely back to the website. Once at the Web server, it
is decrypted and displayed to the consumer. Also, order confirmation e-mails are
sent to the consumer and to the merchant. The Cardservice International SSL API
guarantees that the orders and payment information generated by the merchants
Web server remains totally secure. Modular
